Julia solved this problem.
Peter had a strip of leather 58.8 cm long. He cut the strip of leather into 6 equal-length pieces. How long was each piece of leather?

Is Julia's answer reasonable?
Yes.
yes idk y buuuuut my gut tells me this so ill stick with it.
To determine whether Julia's answer is reasonable, let's go through the process of solving the problem step by step.
Peter had a strip of leather 58.8 cm long and cut it into 6 equal-length pieces. To find the length of each piece, we need to divide the total length by the number of pieces.
So, the length of each piece is calculated as:
58.8 cm ÷ 6 = 9.8 cm
We can see that the correct answer is 9.8 cm, not 0.98 cm as Julia stated.
Based on this calculation, Julia's answer of 0.98 cm is not reasonable or correct.
Therefore, Julia's answer is not reasonable.
